EMPs are disruptive. They can really damage ; 
electronics. They can even produce a spark. The 
question is: how much damage did it doP 


The good news is that if it 
was awful, Your friend would just be dead. 
It isn’? I think that’s a good sign. 


But we don’t know how the AT does 

the things it does. Where does it get the 
energy? What happens when it expends that 
energyP How does it get more?
